From the Front Porch to the Front Lines

Kathleen Ingoldsby and the Department of Sociology’s Dr. Melinda Wagner presented “From the Front Porch to the Front Lines: Rural Virginia on a Threshold of Change” Wednesday, February 26th in McConnell Library as part of a series of events commemorating the 75th anniversary of the end of World War II.

“From the Front Porch…” is a high school student movie series developed from interviews with Floyd County World War II veterans and their families, and conducted by the Roots with Wings Oral History Project from 2007-2015.

Roots with Wings is an ongoing collaboration where Radford University students mentored Floyd County High School students, teaching qualitative research skills used to gather oral histories.
